Asher's first month...........

Since my best friend, Anna is a photographer, we got some amazing pictures of Asher right away..

Although he wasn't always very excited about it! (one day I will show ths picture to his girlfriend!)

He loved being swaddled, and that always seemed to calm him down... although his arms had to always be out...

once he calms down, he really starts to let his personality out.......

and then the fun never ends.......

There is nothing more amazing that watching this tiny person you brought into the world discover everything for the first time. When looking into that little face, everything just seems to make more sense.

Of course, there are moments when you are completely sleep deprived,

But, everyone single sleepless night is well worth the joy and love we get to feel everyday. I can't even imagine a single second of my life without him.

The Day Asher came into the world....

On May 28, 2008 at 2:07 p.m. Asher Jonathon Sylvester came into this world at 6 pounds, 6 ounces, 19.5 inches. He was being a little difficult at first, so he had to be delivered by C-Section. Even though he had a rough start, the minute he was born, he screamed his lungs out and let us know he was just fine. That moment was the start of the most amazing adventure John and I could have ever hoped for.





This is the first time I got to see him...



Because I had to get stitched up after my C-Section, John got to stay with him in the nursery.



He also got to be the first to hold him....




When I finally got to spend time with him, I could tell right away he had a hilarious personality!



He had this thing with only wanting one eye open at a time....


Since he was a premie, we did lots of skin to skin cuddling....






Isn't he just the most adorable thing on the planet!

We were so excited when we got to take him home, but also really nervous! We are so gratefuly we have a healthy, happy little boy and can't wait to share him with the world!
